Black Girl Magic Digital Summit Returns to Celebrate & Inspire Women

Boss Women Media and Capital One team up once more to encourage women to take ownership of their careers and financial futures.

Boss Women Media’s Black Girl Magic Digital Summit is returning for its fourth consecutive year of programming. The event is set to premiere on Saturday, August 27 on Prime Video. The digital summit aims to educate, empower and equip Black women, and will celebrate and support thousands of global attendees, including a network of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs and student changemakers.

The programming, a Boss Women Media production, was pre-recorded in Los Angeles in late July at Brigid Coulter’s Blackbird House. Female students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country, as well as professional leaders in an array of industries, joined in person at Blackbird House as the live audience. The women in attendance were able to meet with speakers and influencers. They also had the opportunity to network with each other, allowing for a day full of connections and conversations. 

From the CEO of Boss Women Media

“We’re on a mission to provide Black women with the tools and education they need to take the next steps toward having more,” said Marty McDonald, Founder and CEO of Boss Women Media. “The Black Girl Magic Digital Summit is a pivotal part of this mission. It gives us the stage and presence to amplify critical conversations and poignant messages. We are honored to have partnered with Capital One again for this year’s digital summit. Their team has been a steadfast ally over the years. We can’t wait to see the magic from this digital summit reach more Black women than ever before.”

Key speakers for this year’s digital summit include Allyson Felix, Meena Harris, Aurora James, Meagan Good, and more. Boss Women Media also partnered with Tai Beauchamp, Lady Jade, Codie Oliver and Mattie James as Brand Ambassadors. Each of these influential women will be hosting watch parties in their respective cities (Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta). Join the party as they promote the premiere of the digital summit and support Black women in their communities.

Empowering Black women through impactful conversations

For the fourth consecutive year, Capital One teamed up with Boss Women Media for the digital summit. Together, they activated their network of executives, community partners, and finance and career experts to discuss topics related to financial well-being, career development, advancing socioeconomic mobility, small business success, and more.

“At Capital One, we value the powerful impact Black women have on the workplace, economy and our society,” said Theresita Richard, Managing Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging at Capital One. “We’re honored to partner with Boss Women Media to open empowering conversations around career growth, financial well-being, and entrepreneurship.”

The partnership is an extension of Capital One’s Impact Initiative. This program is a multi-year commitment that invests in underserved communities and businesses and supports organizations that expand economic opportunity.

Capital One Business will also sponsor the Black Girl Magic Summit Pitch Competition. Capital One Business will provide $100,000 in grants to three female-owned small businesses, up from $50,000 in 2021. Applications are open until August 12. To learn more, visit www.BossWomen.org/BlackGirlMagic.
